( fingers grip tight at martha's wrists as she continues to thrash about wildly above him. seeing his mother like this β seeing her rotting and screaming and attacking him like she is... somewhere deep within him, that little boy is crying and terrified and hurting so much at this. he struggles to keep her snapping teeth from taking a bite out of him, blue eyes shining in terror at the sheer sight of this, all while trying to look over for jason and catching just a faint glimpse of his father going for him.
something twists inside bruce when he sees jason hit the ground with his father and he tries to dig deep within himself to find the strength to get his mother off him β to go and help jason, the other's name a strangled groan on his lips. but her boney fingers manage to get into a crevice of the suit there around his neck and slice into skin, causing bruce to let out a pained grunt as she does.
and for a moment, he wonders if he should die... because this was all his fault β bruce has always blamed himself for his parents death; survivor's guilt.
that's when he catches sight of large shadowy spikes suddenly appear and shoot out at everything around them. right through them. right through martha and bruce stares as she's impaled over and over again until she finally drops atop him and bruce is left there. stunned. with his mother's corpse there above him. )
